Its been a long five years

But here I am again to sound off about baseball. Today's game on the 65th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's major league debut has been a pitchers' duel for the Twins and visitor's the Rangers.
Through four innings of scoreless ball pitching was the whole story of the game. Surprisingly the Twins have busted through and currently hold a two run lead.

One bad thing about the Twins offense is that they again hit into a double play ending what could have been a scoring opportunity. The Twins are leading the league (probably the majors) in the dubious honor of hitting into the most double plays. This has a simply devastating effect on runs scored. The psychological effect in the dug out has to be mind numbing. When the Twins hit into yet another double play, I can be heard to call for electric-shock therapy. I know it will never happen, and I am not serious. Saying that I would dearly love to see if it would work! The player's union might have a few words to say about this technique for performance modification and change.
